First day back at Bangkok just relaxed and caught up with old and new friends. In the morning went across town to book sleeper train ticket to Chiang Mai then had a right good nostalgic youtube session playing lots of classico choons. Train up north was fun, met a Dutch brother and sister travelling together and they had arrived from Schipol earlier in the day, plenty of duty free booze spirits were drank until we realised that everyone else in the train had ...

Went for a quick walk around the block to get Yangoon be...

With it being off season the beac...

Had my last dose of momo & yak cheese, then had a dodgy street seller trying to get me to import some of his gems into OZ when I go there, err I don't think so!! Had two real good flights over to Beijing, t...
